Run OTL
[*]Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following
:OTL O4 - Startup: C:\Users\Cal\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\mcmswuun.exe () [2011/11/04 20:26:58 | 000,000,000 | ---D | C] -- C:\Users\Cal\AppData\Local\evucbsnq [2011/11/04 20:26:58 | 000,113,991 | --S- | C] () -- C:\Users\Cal\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\mcmswuun.exe [2011/11/04 20:26:57 | 000,113,991 | --S- | M] () -- C:\Users\Cal\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\mcmswuun.exe:Files
ipconfig /flushdns /c:Commands

[Reboot]
[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
[*]Open OTL again and click the Quick Scan button. Post the log it produces in your next reply.
After the restart the pop up seems to have stopped, here’s the log you asked for !
essexboy logs out around midnight…UK time…he will be back tomorrow
ok no problem, guess i’ll wait the pop up seems to have gone though. It hasn’t came back since last night.
If there are no further problems let me know and I will remove my tools
And welcome to the Avast antivirus forum ;D
no further problems Thank you so much! How do i remove your tools?
Subject to no further problems
I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems
Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean
A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:
Run OTL
[*]Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following
:Commands [resethosts] [purity] [emptytemp] [EMPTYFLASH] [Reboot]
[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself.
We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that
[*]Click Start.
[*]Open My Computer.
[*]Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
[*]Select the View Tab.
[*]Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
[]Click Yes to confirm.
[]Click OK.
